1) How will you keep track of your days/weeks in 2025? Do you have a desk planner? A wall calendar? A pocket planner? Do you use the app on your phone? I have 3 calendars in the house, a planner in my purse, and I occasionally use the calendar on my phone. For better or worse, in spite of having all that, I tend to rely on my memory more than anything.
2) Consider your typical week. Which day tends to be your busiest? They are all busy, but Fridays may feel more busy since that is my day at work to have planned and lead all the activities (learning, craft, exercise, life skill, etc.). On top of that, our daughter often asks us to keep the kids on Friday evenings while she and her husband go shopping or out to dinner.
3) This week's artist, Neil Sedaka, is one of pop music's most prolific singer-songwriters, but his first love was classical music. He was so good that he trained at Julliard and won the accolade, "Best New York High School Pianist." Recall one of your passions from your high school years. I liked writing and art. I wrote for the school paper and enrolled in most of the school's art classes. I wrote things on my own and was always drawing or doing something creative.
4) Elton John has always enjoyed Sedaka's music and in the 1970s, when Elton was one of the world's top stars, he requested a meeting. If you had the power to contact and then meet anyone in the world, who would you choose? I really don't have any idea. Maybe a political figure? It might be interesting to hear their thoughts directly, rather than how the media spins it.
5) Sedaka appeared as the musical guest during the second season of Saturday Night Live. What's the most recent show you watched on TV? Was it live, from your dvr, or did you stream it? I just finished streaming last night's episode of Swamp People: Serpent Invasion.
6) His daughter Dara sings on TV and radio commercials. What advertising jingle sticks in your head? "Jardiance, the little pill with the big story to tell."
7) In 1960, when "Calendar Girl" was popular, To Kill a Mockingbird was first published. Have you read it? Yes, but not in school. I read it on my own less than 10 years ago. I loved it.
8) Also in 1960, John F. Kennedy, Jr. was baptized in the Georgetown University Chapel. His godparents were Charles and Martha Bartlett, the couple who introduced his famous parents. Do you have any godchildren? No.
9) Random question -- Which did you enjoy more: the last week of 2024 or the first week of 2025? I guess I'll go with the first week of 2025. We were still dealing with norovirus the last week of 2024. (Our grandson seems to have the virus now...praying it doesn't hit us again.)
Thanks to Crazy Sam at Saturday 9 for the music and questions!
